Throwing
Throwing is a weapons skill in Ultima Online which can only be learned by Gargoyles (added with Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss), and replaces Archery as the distance weapon skill. These weapons need no ammo, as they always return to the warrior, but have a certain optimal distance and hitting a foe outside this distance gives a damage penalty. Wearing a shield gives a penalty, unless the Parrying skill has reached an adequate level.
The three trowing weapons are:
- Boomerang
- Cyclone
- Soul Glaive
Training[edit]
Training is the same for all weapon classes. First, buy training from a Warrior Guildmaster until reaching 30 points. After that, only real battle can help to improve. Therefore here the best battlegrounds for the varying skill levels.
Skill Level | Enemies to battle |
---|---|
30 - 60 | Skeletons, preferably 1-3 at a time these can be found in any graveyard |
60 - 70 | Lizardmen such as you'd find in the top level of Despise |
70 - 85 | Ogres, again in Despise but at lowest level this time (avoid the Ogre Lords) |
85 - 100 | Earth Elementals found in Shame or Despise level 2 |
100 - 110 | Cyclopean Warriors found in Cyclops Valley in the Lost Lands and Despise level 3 |
110 - 120 | Troglodytes found in the Painted Caves |
Alternatively, you can use the Pet Golem Trick to gain experience.
